Matt Gregory. Coral

Matt Gregory The English Winemaker
Wine of England
Grapes: Pinot Noir (60%) Pinot Gris

Coral and shell lie in the geology of the vineyard.  The Coral is the gift of 2024, an extremely difficult vintage that stole the chance to make great red, but gave the opportunity for a great coral pink.  A dry, immaculate refreshing, zippy rose, loaded with attitude, if not alcohol.  8.5%

All of the Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris from 2024 went to make this wine.  About 15% of the fruit was de-stemmed into large vessel and the rest pressed. The juice from pressing was put over the retained grapes. After a week a used 500 litre oak barrel was filled with the juice to complete fermentation and the balance was reserved for topping up. After 9 months in wood the wine was bottled and released in the Spring of 2026 after 8 months in bottle.
